Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. Releases 2016 1st Quarter Results

April 29, 2016

LURAY, Va., April 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (OTCQB: BRBS), parent company of Blue Ridge Bank, announced today its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.  The Company reported net income of $524,354 for the first three months of 2016, or $0.37 per common share, compared to 2015 net income of $554,780, or $0.43 per common share, for the same period.  The decrease in earnings per common share of 12.1%, as well as the decline in the return on average assets and average equity as shown below, was an expected result of the additional expense associated with the subordinated debt issuance that occurred in November 2015. In addition, the Company was pleased to declare a dividend of $0.1175 during the first quarter of 2016, which is an increase of 2.2% compared to the 2015 first quarter dividend of $0.1150.  The dividend yield is 2.63% based on the April 28, 2016 share price.

BRBS

The Company experienced asset growth of 11.2% since the first quarter of 2015, which was largely fueled by growth in the Company's held-for-investment loan portfolio of approximately $19,076,000, or 10.1%.  The Company's asset quality continues to be strong, as reflected in its nonperforming and nonaccrual loans.   Additionally, the Company's deposit portfolio grew $20,660,000, or 10.9% since the first quarter of 2015, which included growth of $5,691,000, or 18.7% in noninterest DDA.
